Description:

This addon makes all sea vessels in ArmA 3 visible across your set view-distance.
Originally these assets would only adhere to object view-distance, which for obvious reasons is no optimal solution.

In technical terms this addon puts all sea vessels into "landmark" state.
(which is kinda underused anyway with only 4 or 5 objects taking advantage of it – the carrier being one of those for instance).

The engine hard limit on "landmarks" lies at 200 objects, according to the biki:

Disclaimer: I have´nt tested what happens when you put 201 entities 😀
======================================================

Known Issues:

– Whilst this enables you to see ships/boats perfectly fine, you still cannot see any objects between
you and your target (depending on your object view distance), this might lead to wonky situations (e.g. random cargo containers blocking your missile).

Decide for yourself if the benefits outweigh the downsides.

Stay Alpha!
